Healthy eating is about your habits over time, not just one meal. Over time, load up on fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Choose healthy proteins like beans, nuts, fish, lean meats, and low-fat dairy. Cook with heart-healthy oils like olive or canola, cut back on sugar and salt, keep alcohol to a minimum, and choose minimally processed foods whenever possible.
Eat Smart
Everyone can experience joy in food: all in a way that’s delicious, doable, healthy and affordable.
Finding joy in your food is the best way to stay consistent in making smart choices. Those smart eating choices can even help prevent heart disease and stroke.
Deliciously Smart Swaps
Making healthier food choices doesn’t mean giving up flavor. By making simple ingredient swaps, you can boost the nutritional value of your meals and support your heart health.
